Completed my graduation in Gynaecological Medicine from the well known and renowned institution of India – Sardar Patel Medical College, Baroda in 2000-01, affiliated to M.S. University. I ranked in university exams from 1996-01.

Worked as Professor and Head of the department ; Community Medicine Department at Sterling Hospital, Rajkot, Gujarat from 2003-2015

And I was lucky to train in a collegial environment where we called most of our attendings by their first names. If only doctors did it that way outside the Midwest. One of my attendings even made the argument that it is safer for patient care because it’s easier for subordinates to raise concerns when they’re not verbally kowtowing to their superior. I never respected a white-haired surgeon any less when I addressed him by his first name. In fact, I saw that in non-clinical science, it is commonplace for the most junior researchers to call the most celebrated senior scientists by their first names.

When I offer or recommend products, I do so because I have actively researched them and find they are the best in that category for your health. I ignore substandard products, and products not directly pertinent to your health, regardless of any potential financial upside.
